Fundraiser to assist children in Jamaica

PEMBROKE PINES — A South Florida charity that supplies medical equipment and financial assistance to disabled children in Jamaica is having its annual fundraiser Saturday in Pembroke Pines.

Friends of Good Shepherd Mobay Inc., now in its 13th year, raises money for a clinic and hospice in Montego Bay, said organizers.

Some of the children it helps are mentally disabled orphans.

The charity relies heavily on donors in South Florida.

The annual fundraiser dinner dance will be held from 6 p.m. to midnight Saturday at the Walter C. Young Theater for the Performing Arts, 901 NW 129th Ave. Tickets are $50 for adults and $20 for children.
